We are very pleased with the care our mum receives from all the wonderful staff. However, due to the circumstances, it is sometimes very difficult for ourselves, our mum and the staff. We moved our mum approx 11 months ago and are very pleased we did.

Staff are friendly and approachable, and all greet my father by name. They are patient with his confusion, helping if possible.

My mother was in the EMI ward at Holmwood House for almost 2 years.
She was exceptionally well cared for throughout her stay. I visited her regularly, at differing times, and she was always, clean, beautifully dressed, her hair was brushed and styled in different ways -- which she always loved.
In
all my time visiting I saw only genuine care and tenderness from the staff towards the residents.
My mum was without a doubt happy and made many good friends amongst the other staff and residents while she was there.
She died peacefully and with dignity, surrounded by the staff who cared for her and her friends she had made there. We couldn't ask for more for her.
We hear so many awful stories about care homes, I feel it's extremely important to share the excellent stories of care, to highlight the staff who make the residents lives full of love, support and fun, and to take away the fear that many people have of what a care home is.
Holmwood House is an excellent - as are the amazing staff

My wife has been a resident in Holmwood House for 9 months. She has received excellent care from a dedicated team of carers. The home also organises various activities in order to stimulate the residents. These include visits with owls, donkeys and musical events. The food is of good quality and
looks very appetising. The main thing is that she is happy and settled.

Mum moved into Holmwood House early 2025. She is well cared for, happy and far more relaxed than she has been in years.

Excellent caring home. Lovely atmosphere and very well run. The entertainment is varied and well planned, the food plentiful and delicious.
Staff genuinely care for the residents and the nursing team are knowledgable and well-trained.
Thank you.

Overall I am very satisfied with the care my husband is receiving from the care assistants and the nursing staff at Holmwood House. He is happy in his self and doesn't seem to be agitated or distressed. One thing that does cause him to become agitated is having to wait to be taken to the toilet, as
he is not mobile thisis sometimes a problem, this is the only complaint I have.

Staff are friendly and caring. My dad gets the best care and is happy where he lives, which is so important to us. When my nan recently passed away at Holmwood House she was made so comfortable and had exceptional care. All the staff were so lovely to her and us as a family.

My mum has been a resident at the home since July 2024. She had a very warm welcome, and it has been the same since. All the staff show a lot of kindness towards the residents, and always friendly towards me when I am visiting, I feel happy that my mum is in good hands. I try and join in the
activities when I can, and they are always a lot of fun. The staff are always keeping me up to date with my mum's health and let me know if they have any concerns. I feel confident that my mum is in the best hands when I am unbale to see her as I work away during the week. My mum has become better in herself since being in the home as she is surrounded by people all day and is involved with activities that keeps her mind active. I truly can recommend this home.

Overall generally satisified with the care provided for my godmother. Unfortunateley the lady concerned (who is 99 years old} chooses not to interact socially with other residents. Neither will she accept either a TV or radio in her room.

Having started with respite care my wife is now in full residential care as her dementia progresses. I had no hesitation in choosing Holmwood House as her new home. It is good to know she is content and well cared for. I regularly visit and always have a warm welcome to what feels like a large
family. The staff keep me well informed of my wife's condition and her needs either in person or by phone. There are regular activities to keep residents entertained and active.

We are very happy with the excellent care that Mum is receiving at Holmwood House . Our Mum has complex dementia & mobility issues & in this last few months Mum has had several health issues including falls . These were all dealt with with efficiency, care & dignity & we were kept informed every
step of the way to her recovery.

From living a distance away I am always grateful
To be able to speak with a person who knows my mother and can give up to date information on her. The staff when I do manage to visit are helpful and friendly. Any requests I do have at the time of visit are implemented and I am very happy with the
whole system of running Holmewood Swaffham

Its such a peace of mind that my husband is being cared for in the way that he is. All the staff are very kind, helpful and welcoming. My family and I are always informed if there are any concerns or issues. Nothing is too much trouble. My husband has settled in really well; he seems very happy in
this lovely home.

My Dad spent the last one and half years of his life in Holmwood House Nursing home in Swaffham up to when he passed away in August this year at 95 years old. He was well looked after with care and kindness the whole time. We were able to visit whenever we liked and were always met with smiles. His
dementia meant that he would have struggled to continue his life at home but I know that at Holmwood House he was welcomed and included in their community with quizzes, singing and puzzles each week and was safe and happy - and loved the food!

Such a lovely residence, with a super homely feel. The home smells fresh and clean and the freshly cooked meals look delicious. All the staff we have met whilst visiting our friend have been first class, helpful, friendly and so welcoming to all. Lovely admin ladies who are so kind and the nurses
are delightful too.
This is a calm, relaxing, beautiful place, well done to all who work so hard to make it such a lovely home.

I have found the care home to be excellent in the care for its residents and their well being. The food is very wholesome with variety and choice, and there is attention paid to entertainment, which is very important so that people are not bored. The staff are friendly, experienced and there is a
good overall atmosphere.

Holmwood continues to provide good care for my aunt, who has vascular dementia.
Aunt has been at Holmwood for some time now and has had continuous great care.
